Description

Scale drawing by Major Bale showing a stretch of rubble wall, thought to belong to the St Botolph's Priory precinct, surviving as part of the boundary between No 37 St Botolph's Street and building to the north. The surviving rubble wall was no more than 3ft by 3ft and stood about 3ft in from the modern frontage. The modern street is divided between 37 & 37a and it is not clear whether the numbering has been changed since 1898.<1>
